You have an aleks assignment - it is optional. work on it and then report back here - what questions do you think you would like to work on in class?

below are pairs of vectors written in different forms. Match the vectors on the left to their pair on the right.
\vec{u} has an terminal point at (14,3) and an initial point at (8,-9)
from the x-axis
To find the magnitude of a vector in component form, you simply
add the magnitudes of the components
use pythagorean theorem with the components
take the inverse tan of the coefficient of \hat{j} over the coefficient of \hat{i}
Divide the components by the angle
To find the angle of the vector from the horizontal axis,
add the magnitudes of the components
use pythagorean theorem with the components
take the inverse tan of the coefficient of \hat{j} over the coefficient of \hat{i}
Divide the components by the magnitude
To find the component form of the unit vector in the direction of a vector you simply
add the magnitudes of the components
use pythagorean theorem with the components
take the inverse tan of the coefficient of \hat{j} over the coefficient of \hat{i}
Divide the components by the magnitude
To find the dot product of two vectors you
multiply the \hat{i} components together and make that the coefficient of the \hat{i}, and multiply the \hat{j} components together and make that the coefficient of the \hat{j}
multiply the \hat{i} components together and multiply the \hat{j} components together and then add those products together.
multiply both components by the scalar
Multiply the \hat{i} component by the \hat{j} and vice-versa. then add them together
To find if two vectors are parallel you
determine the \frac{delta y}{delta x} of both vectors and see if they are equal
determine the \frac{delta y}{delta x} of both vectors and see if they are reciprocal of each other
take the dot product to determine if it is equal to 0
take the dot product to determine if it is equal to the magnitude of one of the vectors
To find if two vectors are perpendicular you
determine the \frac{delta y}{delta x} of both vectors and see if they are equal
determine the \frac{delta y}{delta x} of both vectors and see if they are reciprocal of each other
take the dot product to determine if it is equal to 0
take the dot product to determine if it is equal to the magnitude of one of the vectors
given two vectors in component form, you can find the angle between them by
take the inverse tan of \hat{i} components divided by the\hat{j} components and then add those angles
find the dot product using the component equation, divide by the product of the magnitudes of both vectors, then take the inverse cosine
using pythagorean theorem
graphing and using a protractor is the only way
When you are finding the component form of a vector \vec{u} given as a magnitude and an angle \theta from the positive x axis you would

||\vec{u}||\cdot\hat{i}+||\vec{u}||\hat{j}
<r\sin\theta, r\cos\theta>
<magnitude\cdot\cos\theta, magnitude\cdot\sin\theta>
Which of these is finding the component of \vec{u} along \vec{v}
(\vec{u}\cdot\hat{v})\hat{v}
both of the above will work
neither of the above will work
in polar coordinates r stands for
the x coordinate
the y coordinate
the distance between your point and the origin
the angle from the x-axis
in polar coordinates \theta stands for
the x coordinate
the y coordinate
the distance between your point and the origin
the angle from the x-axis
in polar coordinates r\cos\theta is the
the x coordinate
the y coordinate
the distance between your point and the origin
the angle from the x-axis
in polar coordinates r\sin\theta is the
the x coordinate
the y coordinate
the distance between your point and the origin
the angle from the x-axis
when converting a polar equation into a rectangular equation I simply
Replace x and y with r\cos\theta and r\sin\theta respectively and then solve for r
Replace x and y with r\cos\theta and r\sin\theta respectively and then solve for \theta
replace r and \theta with \sqrt{x^2+y^2} and \tan^{-1} respectively then solve for y
replace r and \theta with \sqrt{x^2+y^2} and \tan^{-1} respectively then simplify, possibly using completing the square to consolidate x terms and y terms
